181 MILES ON ONE TANK! NICE....

Post by Bowches » Mon Apr 30, 2018 2:05 pm

I went to staffordshire to pick up the air guide panel parts from a guy on Ebay and I went 70 miles an hour on the way back for about 140 miles and the rest of the 41 miles was done riding in London and the clock went to 181 miles until I decided to stop at the Shell Petrol Station and looked inside the petrol tank and could still see some fuel left inside the tank, but I did not want to take the risk of having to start pushing the bike to the next petrol station if It did run out of petrol.

I reckon I could get 200 miles on a tank if I keep it at 60mph and make it more aerodynamic. LOLLL

Anyway here is a picture of the clock, Great Bike the CBR 400 and to think its 28 years old and I am 25 years old lol

Nice one. You really need to take one of those emergency 1 litre fuel bottles with you or bring a friend with more fuel if you go for the 200.

My NC23 will do 180km until Reserve and then 200km (incl Reserve).

Are you sure your odometer isn't reading KM not miles?

Mine is definetely in miles mate, I thought mine was in KM as well, but in the first month of riding it, the needle was pointing at 60 and everyone else was doing 60 and I knew that it was in MPH.

Yours must be in MPH as well, because 200km means only 125 miles. I have done long distance journeys and I have filled up after 170 miles of riding on the motorway.
